Key: G
Introduction:
G C D G
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
Bm Em A7 D
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
Am D G D/F# Em
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do
C G Am G/B D
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A D/A A/C# D C G D/A
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am D G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Interlude
G C D G
Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
Bm Em A7 D
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
Am D G D/F# Em
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
C G Am G/B D
A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A D/A A/C# D C G D/A
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am D G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
D
At times I'd like to break you
G
And drive you to your knees
Em Bm
At times I'd like to break through
C C/D
And hold you endlessly
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A D/A A/C# D C G D/A
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am D G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
D/G C G
